Here is the design for the back cover of my comic. The first image is an initial sketch and the second image is more fully sketched out (although the legs are too small which is annoying me). The image is supposed to go into the corner of the page. I realised that if this image was going on the back cover however then it would have to be in the bottom left corner and not the right corner, which I had designed it for. This is so that the image will be separated from the front cover. I wanted the corner of the room that Cherry is in to correspond to the corner of the page the image was in. This means that the image needs to be flipped to fit properly. After drawing out the first composition so many times I found it a challenge to draw it facing the other way. I managed though and actually prefer the new composition. I had the idea of putting a wash of grey ink over the drawing and think that it is effective and makes the piece quite emotive or atmospheric.
Below is a very rough version of what the front and back cover would look like when the comic is opened. I decided to give the front cover a black background to better convey the tone of the book. The back cover in this has too heavy of a wash.
